how to force netwtonsoft json serializer to serialize datetime property to string?

I am using Newtonsoft.Json to convert my object in to JSON file. But I am having issue with the DateTime, in my object datetime field is set as "7/30/2012 8:29:12 PM" but in JSON file. I am getting DateTime field in this format:

"\/Date(1343660352227+0530)\/".

I need to get the DateTime in the same format as that of the object. Is it possible? What should I do in order to get the same format?

You are not the only one with that problem, see [Scott Hanselman - On the nightmare that is JSON Dates. Plus, JSON.NET and ASP.NET Web API](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/OnTheNightmareThatIsJSONDatesPlusJSONNETAndASPNETWebAPI.aspx) — M. Mennan Kara, Aug 01 '12 at 10:59

});
